Projection Operations Auto Keystone Correction Certain operational environments and other factors can make it impossible to achieve sufficient accuracy when performing keystone correction. If an image appears distorted after performing auto keystone correction check the sensors for dirt and clean them if necessary. See page 70 for more information. If this does not solve the problem, try changing the position of the projector slightly or perform manual keystone correction. AF/AK at Short Pro
